The mirrored withdrawal of troops won’t ensure restoration of the rights of Armenia’s citizens. This is what Human Rights Defender of Armenia Arman Tatoyan told reporters today, adding that the same goes for the deployment of international observers.

Tatoyan recalled that Sev Lake is under the Azerbaijanis’ control and added that this presents a serious danger from the perspective of water resources.

“It’s very bad that there is no proper attention paid to the human rights protection component. In conditions of demarcation and delimitation, Armenia has no right to consider everything in terms of politics and the military. We must not forget that there are people living there,” he said.

Recently, acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan proposed a mirrored withdrawal of the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops and the deployment of international observers on the border.
